Great topic,
We have the same here, ours are only two for our chapter, one unintentional, it started when we were reactivated in 97, one of our reactivation brothers, Dale Gandhu (nickname Punjabi) got a little brother in the following class, then that little bro got one the next class, we didn't notice that every single class since reactivation had a little brother that was linked to Dale till my class the fifth one in, so we have the punjabi family that totals over 10 of the brothers, we have traditions in the family, that i try to continue like, dale's fav drink is Johnnie Walker, so the new guys in the family get initiated in the family by sharing an evening with the family drinking nothing but the good ol' JW. We have others but i can't remember them right now.
The other family we have is the Dogg Pound started recently by brothers, two guys who knew each other for years and went by the nicknames of k-dogg and wolf-dogg started it and they pick, not little bros, but initaiated brothers to join each class, the funny thing is over half are punjabi to my recolection (sp?) they have their traditions like a variation on our handshake, and other things i'm not privy to, because i am not a member.
But that's what we have, i think it's great to keep track of the family tree and keep it going, it's something to look back on and see who was in your specific family over the years.
